Online Mode of Teaching

Google Classroom LMS, Google Meet and Zoom Cloud

Google Classroom which is a cloud-based learning management system, has enabled my students to access the platform from computers, tablets and smartphones. I have created Google Classroom page for each semester and regularly create Google Docs to manage assignments, quizzes, post YouTube videos links and attach files (power points, PDFs) from Google Drive.

Zoom Cloud, Google Meet is being regularly used by me and students to execute online classes through video conferencing and to gain access to high speed screen sharing options.
